Thandie and Biel Support Darfur Now

Thandie Newton and Jessica Biel were all about sheer at last night's LA screening of Darfur Now. Thandie looks gorgeous in her dress but Biel's see through top and blazer don't do her justice. The film involved celebrities like Don Cheadle and George Clooney and raises awareness about the situation in Darfur. While the men didn't make it to the screening, Thandie talked about the importance of using fame for good. She said, "I think there needs to be much more of a sense of responsibility when we use the power of entertainment to affect people's lives. I think we're in a really fortunate position that there are many film makers and very popular actors that want to make a difference." Of all the celebrity trends these days, raising awareness and philanthropy have to be some of our favorites.

Thandie's dress is so so cute. I agree she could do with a couple of cheeseburgers but this is Hollywood and as much as we may complain about people's weight , they don't seem to care as long as they are getting roles and being on the cover of magazines.

I know that it is really important to raise awareness about the situation in Darfur and that i'm probably being really harsh and cynical here, but does anyone else get frustrated with celebrities that turn up to the premieres of ethical films (which they are not involved in) and act all smug about promoting good causes? We would all like to do more about world issues (and we would all like to go to glamourous events) but not everyone has the opportunity that celebs do to help. They are in a really lucky position being able to raise awareness and they should be grateful for it.

And, I think people are too hard on Jessica Biel. Her outfit may be a safe (read: a little boring) choice, but it certainly doesn't look bad. Britney's fashion choices? BAD. Lindsay Lohan's fashion choices? BAD. This isn't so bad.
